The problem with taht paragraph is that it assumes that the UDP encapsulator

It seems to me that one could easily be applying the UDP in any one of a
number of cases where the payload will not be known.
So the requirement in the paragraph seems at best difficult to meet.
And has been noted, this seems to place an expectation on UDP encapsulated
MPLS that is not present for MPLS itself, when the traffic is not known to
be IP.
OK good point - so we invoke the end-to-end argument on MPLS's behalf.
